    having kids is a right that should be earned. full assessment and parenthood training course required.

      People will say they hate eugenics but then just argue for the same concept under a different term. Anyone who agrees with this should read Eugenics and Other Evils by G.K. Chesterton, where he criticizes and refutes the idea of giving the state authority of who can have kids when.

      While I agree on the surface, the stark reality is that this would inevitably be used as a eugenics program. Imagine the current “speedrunning fascism low %” administration having the legal authority to decide who does (and more importantly, who doesn’t) get a parent permit.

        by assessment i dont mean check if theyre the right race. i meant a mental checkup to see if theyre even fit to be a parent. genetic and ethnic cleansing has nothing to do with that.

          So what’s the criteria: adherence to a socially acceptable set of values and ideals? Full development of mental capacities? Literacy tests? Psycho analysis? Eugenics extends beyond physical phenotypical characteristics.

      Your takes are way too mild guys… Yet again, I will go even further:

      I am an antinatalist:

      • Having kids is unethical in all cases. It is always an egocentric act. You may have many reasons to have kids, but none are for the good of the child. It cannot be, since the child does not exist yet. Hence, it is egotistical.

      It is always better to not exist.

      “Better never to have been”, by Benatar, should be mandatory reading.
